Kourtney Kardashian opened up about the wellness practice she does "every single morning" to maximise its beauty and longevity benefits. The Poosh founder took to her brand's Instagram account to share that she drinks a cup of hot water first thing each day.
"Hydration isn't just about how much water you drink. It also boils down to temperature. According to Korean medicine expert @dr.elliebyun, your internal temperature balance plays a role in everything from digestion to energy to skin. And one of the easiest ways to support it? Hot water.

The practice of drinking hot water comes from Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine, but the ritual has become a firm favourite among wellness enthusiasts. The simple habit can improve digestion and gut health by helping break down food faster, reduce bloating, enhance metabolism, reduce congestion, and increase hydration.

My morning beverage
Similarly to Kourtney, my morning routine involves juicing a whole fresh lemon into a glass of room-temperature water on an empty stomach. I find this detoxifying and alkalizing for my system, helping to flush out everything from the day before.

The reality star is known to take a holistic approach to her eating. Back in 2024, Kourtney revealed that she's "95 per cent" vegan, writing on her lifestyle website Poosh earlier this year she had gone six to seven months with no meat, just with "occasional butter and honey."

"For some people this shift can be positive, with a sense of feeling fuller for longer, having more energy, and increased dietary variety which can help with common nutrient needs such as omega 3, B12 or iron, that are more difficult to obtain from a vegan diet," she said.
"A good tip is to include dairy with meals rich in fiber, which can help your digestion adjust more easily. Also, not all of us respond well to dairy, so keep a lookout for lower lactose options or support the transition by substituting with plant-based milk alternatives, or goat or sheep-sourced options which you may respond better to."
